It's very plausible in facebook's scenario. Allow Mary to flag "Do not show pictures with me in them to the public" in her profile. This is not the case with twitter, as you pointed out, but for facebook, it is.

Is this not possible now? Account->Privacy Settings->Customize->Pick whatever you want to customize and you can choose who to share it with. Not to mention without going into customizations, you can just choose a "blanket" level which can be that only friends can ever see anything about you.

The feature required they don't have now is "Block pictures with me tagged in them from public view". Only "Take them off my profile page"

  You're talking about pictures that other people have taken, which happen to have you in them? I understand what you're saying, but I really can't imagine this makes any kind of sense to implement. They aren't your pictures, after all, and other people have a right (probably even a legal right) to those pictures.

    Yes, I'm talking about those. Facebook seems to partially agree with me on this, as it allows you to not show the tagged pics on your profile page currently with a setting. I mean, "Those arent' your tags, after all, and other people have a right to those tags".

    When I had a Facebook account, I thought it would be nice if I could configure it such that if somebody tried to tag me in a photo it would automatically show a comment to them saying either: User x has opted out of being tagged in photos. You will not be able to tag them. And/or: User x has requested that people don't post photos of them on Facebook. Please take this under advisement before posting such photos. You might want to ask their permission first.

  I think that's reasonable. Any person tagged in a picture can prevent it from being public. It can be implemented so that the most restrictive permissions carry through, but as I write it that way and reflect upon Facebook's history and stated attitude, it sounds naive.
